Christmas Spirit – The Liebster Award

This morning, I was graced with a nomination for a Liebster Award by Thistles and Kiwis. I quickly delayed my prepared post until tomorrow so that I could respond to my nomination. Why? you may ask. Why? not just respond to the nomination tomorrow. The truth is, I was struck by the friendly spirit of the nomination and what a better time to receive such a gift and share this kindness than in the build up to Christmas.

I started following Thistles and Kiwis earlier this year as the writer is Scottish (like half of me) and lives abroad (like whole of me). I’ve really enjoyed reading her Christmas Blogmas Posts. Go check them out. But most importantly, I thank you Thistles and Kiwis for your blog, for this nomination and for reading my blog.

So the Liebster Award, it exists on the internet and is gifted blogger to blogger.

Here are the rules:

Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you.

Answer the 11 questions the blogger gave to you.

Nominate at least 5, but no more than 11 bloggers who deserve the award.

It has to be home, London. I love exploring the world and I constantly fall in love with different cities. I often get bored of London, but I can say that because I’m a Londoner, it’s my home. But I’d disagree with any non-Londoner if they said the same. London is greatest city, my favourite city and I won’t let anyone diss my hometown.

Just some reasons why I love London:

It has great public transport – yes commuters complain daily – that is until they have tried public transport in other major cities.

Sharing my experiences. It is a way of keeping in touch with home and also, I hope, a way of either inspiring others to take the leap and move abroad or helping those living abroad to feel like they are not alone.

10.What is the best time of day for you?

This changes depending on my routine. At the moment, it is around 5pm when it gets dark and I can turn the lights on my Christmas Tree.

11. Where do you go to switch off from the world? Beach, mountains, forests, or urban streets?
